There are many different type of annuity plans, each with many different terms and conditions.
But overall, they work pretty much the same way:
1) You need to pay either a monthly sum or a 1-lump-sum to the insurance company
2) The insurance company will pay you a monthly amount of money from a certain age and until you die.
3) Between the time you pay and the time you start to draw your monthly payout, the money is used to invest and grow so that you can get a possible larger monthly payout.
